What's your favorite video?

Postby dedanna1029 » 23 Mar 2010, 14:53



I still think this is one of the most amazing videos I've seen in my life, even if done by a machine. Every time I watch it, there's something else about it that I missed the previous times I watched.

For those outside the U.S., if you can't see this video, look up "ok go this too shall pass" in your area; you want the Rube Goldberg dedication.

That one kinda sorta reminds me of a Rilo Kiley link DiBosco sent me (yesterday?) on Facebook. I really liked it:

Thanks, DiBosco.

Oh. Okay.

It would take a lot to get this kid smiling today. Very bad day at work. :(

maybe this will cheer you up :)

if that doesn't work you can allways try this one:
Once there was a rabbit and a bear living in a forest. They went out for a walk and saw a magic golden frog. The rabbit and bear said, "Goodie, three wishes!" The frog then said, "No, six wishes since there are two of you." They got even more excited.

The bear went first. "I wish that all the bears in this forest are females, except for me." POOF! His wish was granted.

Then it was the rabbit's turn. "I wish for a racing bike helmet." POOF! His wish was granted.

The bear hesitated, then said, "I wish all the bears in the neighboring forests were females, except for me." POOF! His wish was granted.

The rabbit already knew what he wanted, "I wish for a motorcycle!" POOF! His wish was granted.

The frog broke in and said, "Now hurry up, I must be on my way! And, may I add, choose carefully your last wish!!"

The bear said, "Alright, I know my last wish. I wish all the bears in the world were female, except for me." POOF! His wish was granted.

The rabbit thought for a while, put on his helmet, and got on his motorcycle. With a smirk on his face he said, "I wish the bear were gay."
